A game-changing aspect of the our new protocol is getting patients who need surgery into the operating room as soon as possible, ideally within 12 hours of the injury.
Whereas in earlier years within two days was considered “early surgery” for spinal injuries the majority of our patients are in the operating room within 2 hours of their injury.
We also boost blood pressure or the blood flow to the spinal cord to the optimal point to perfuse the spinal cord.
We have applied the protocol to more than 10 spinal cord patients, and the results so far are encouraging.
Our approach is also backed up by results from other leading centers.
